how to spot shill bidding?

[Chopper the ex Copper]

No, I don't think so, because to do so would be gratifying for you and we can't have that,can we?

 

[The History Man]

Already gratified by the outcome regardless.

Repent at leisure.....

 

[Chopper the ex Copper]

Luckily, I don't care what you think.

There is nothing to suggest there was no shill bidding is there?

Either way, sock puppets are much worse than shill bidders.

That isn't quite the way that logic normally works..

..And yes, that really is Samuel Jackson playing Donny Rummsfeld as a Samuel Jackson obsessed white wannabe gangsta.

Depends if you mean logic as applied to philosophy or reasoning.

 

[highlandsflyer]

We still don't know if the highest bid was a shill. The one that never contacted the seller as far as we know.

Which is, of course totally irrelevant as far as Jb666 is concerned because a legitimate bidder has fessed up to bidding more than he did.

Carry on.

 

[highlandsflyer]

It is hardly irrelevant, not least because I felt it was worth mentioning.

The point is we don't know either way, so no one has gone off half cock or been vindicated in not joining in with the hunting party.

Ah well, if you thought it was worth saying, it must be worthwhile.


As you were.
